EncoreBY SYNAPSE

For Twitch streamers

Encore Quick Start

Set up your songbook, test a chat request, and put your queue on stream.

Open EncoreChat commands

1. Connect your Twitch channel

Open Encore and choose Log in with Twitch. Sign in as the broadcaster and approve the requested permissions. In Studio → Settings, select Enable Twitch chat so Encore can receive commands and post replies.

Set up the chatbot

  1. After enabling Twitch chat in Studio, send !queue from a viewer account. synapseencore should reply in your Twitch chat.
  2. As the broadcaster, type /mod synapseencore in your Twitch chat. This lets synapseencore post your songbook link even when your channel blocks hyperlinks.
  3. Send !songlist from a viewer account and confirm that synapseencore posts your public songbook link. If Twitch holds the link, review it in AutoMod. Viewer links still follow your channel’s moderation rules.

2. Add your first songs

Go to Song library → Add song. Enter a title and artist, then save. Genre is optional. Leave the Bits and donation minimums at zero for ordinary requests.

Use Public songbook in Studio to open the link you can share with viewers.

3. Test a request

In Live queue, make sure requests are open. Use Open requests if they’re closed. From Twitch chat, send !sr followed by a song you added, such as !sr Dreams - Fleetwood Mac.

Check that Encore replies and the song appears under Up next. When Encore suggests multiple matches, reply with the number it gives you, such as !sr 2.

4. Run your live queue

Click Play next to move the first request into Now playing. Use Finish song when you’re done or Return to queue to defer it. Use Close requests when you’re ready to finish the set. Encore announces opening and closing in Twitch chat when chat is connected.

5. Put the overlay on stream

In Overlay studio, choose a layout and preview it. Select Save overlay, then Copy browser source URL. In OBS or your streaming app, add a Browser Source and paste the URL. Check that it updates when you change the current song.

If a chat request doesn’t appear

Check that the song is in your library, requests are open, and you’re testing in the connected Twitch channel. In Studio Settings, use Reconnect Twitch and then Enable Twitch chat if Encore needs authorization again.
